You might find the online man pages ( http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man ) useful to find out what commands like diff and patch do. In the end, there is nothing like experience. So load 1.4 on a box and start experimenting :) > use the "patch" command to apply it to sources. Next problem; what > sources?

Take a look at the "Building Patches" article on the wiki ( http://wiki.dragonflybsd.org/index.php/Building_Patches ). This goes through the process of getting source code and how to create patches. Once you have the source, take a look at the README file to learn how to kick off a build. ---chuck
